Abstract
Information and technological revolution modernizes library services and enables remote communication with patrons. The advantages of new technologies are particularly applicable in working with young patrons who use the Internet daily. Being one of the well known forms of encouraging reading among children and teenagers, book clubs now also use the possibilities of new Internet applications in order to step out into the virtual space. By applying the Web 2.0 tools (blog, Facebook, Google Docs) public libraries from Bjelovar, Rijeka, Vinkovci and Zadar managed to set up blogs for children and young adults functioning as online book clubs always open to patrons of all Croatian libraries and becoming a popular website for young readers.
